Hi

I'm trying to help my brother with a weird iPod problem. He has an older 10 gig model, with movable wheel. His system is 10.3, and he has the latest firmware. When he connects the iPod to his machine it hangs (brings up spinning beach ball) the Finder, or iTunes (if running), or both. iTunes will not auto start. Disconnecting the iPod makes the spinning cursor disappear. His iPod connects fine to my machine. Have tried trashing iPod preferences, but the problem won't go away. Have also tried 'Restoring' his iPod.

Anyone seen anything similar, or have any tips?

My Mom's 5 gig had the exact same problem. Using a different firewire cable fixed it. Hope that helps

edit: I should note that I now use her old ipod firewire cable for my external firewire drive and it works fine. I think iTunes and the iPod must just be really picky.
